Luoyang Brocade Chapter 65: Confrontation (2)
No matter how deep and shrewd the emperor's grandson is, he is still a fifteen-year-old boy, and he is a boy who has been coddled by everyone and does not dare to disobey in the slightest.
The so-called moodiness is because when someone falls out, it means someone is going to be unlucky.
The so-called uncertainty is because his mood can determine the fate of the people around him.
When someone was not afraid of his identity and retaliated with sharp words, besides being angry, he didn't know how to react.
You can't just order someone to mess with you like you do with the guards and maids!
You can’t lose your temper like you did when you reprimanded the subordinate officials of the East Palace!
Ling Jingshu deliberately acted humble again, hiding her sarcasm under a mask of respect... He couldn't even find a reason to be angry!
The emperor's grandson pursed his thin lips tightly, without any unnecessary expression on his face: "Just know how to advance and retreat."
The voice was flat and there was no hint of anger.
Wang Tong secretly complained in his heart.
Ling Jingshu seemed not to notice the turbulent anger beneath the calm surface of the Emperor Taisun, and said humbly and politely: "We, my brother and sister, retreated first, so as not to disturb His Highness the Grand Sun's good mood."
...The emperor's grandson continued to say expressionlessly: "I allow you to resign."
Everyone could see that His Royal Highness the Grandson was very unhappy.
The invisible pressure makes people breathless. The air also seemed to have stopped flowing, stagnant and dull.
Ling Jingshu smiled and bowed with Ling Xiao before leaving. Then turned and left.
Although Ling Jingshu was the one who left first, everyone knew very well that in the battle of words, temperament and even heart, the one who lost was definitely not Ling Jingshu!
......
Jiang and Ling Ji quickly looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness and bitter smile in each other's eyes.
Ling Ji gritted his teeth and apologized: "Your Highness, Grandson. Ah Shu was born and raised in Dingzhou since she was a child. She rarely leaves the inner house on weekdays. She was spoiled by her grandmother and developed a willful temper. She lost control of her words and provoked Your Highness is unhappy. Please also ask Your Highness Haihan not to argue with her..."
It’s over!
How can you persuade me like this!
Isn’t this an obvious way to tell His Highness Taisun that everyone saw that he had just fallen behind? His Royal Highness Taisun is a arrogant person who cares about face the most... It would be weird if he didn't really fall out now!
Cold sweat broke out all over Wang Tong's back as he winked at Ling Ji repeatedly.
"Wang Tong. Is there sand in your eyes? Or are you cramping?" The cold voice of the Emperor Taisun suddenly sounded in Wang Tong's ears.
Come on. This fire was not directed at the Ling family, but was burned at him, an innocent fish.
Wang Tong lamented in his heart, but his body reacted one step faster than his mind. He immediately knelt down with a plop: "It's all my fault, please punish me, Your Highness."
The emperor's grandson looked over with a half-smile: "Oh? Where did you go wrong?"
"My subordinate winked at His Highness behind his back and lost the dignity of the East Palace Guards. He should be severely punished. As a warning to others!" Wang Tong was very smooth-talking, and his apology was even more sincere.
The emperor's grandson's face softened slightly: "For the sake of your sincerity in admitting your mistake, the punishment will be lighter. Within half a day, the deck of this ship will be wiped clean."
The dignified commander of the imperial guards of the East Palace was kneeling to clean the ship's planks... It was so embarrassing!
Wang Tong sighed secretly, but he didn't dare to hesitate at all. He immediately thanked me and said, "I accept my order and thank you for not killing me."
Ling Ji Jiang's Ling Jingyan: "..."
Having learned from the past, Jiang did not even dare to flirt with Ling Ji in front of His Highness the Grand Sun. He mustered up the courage to open his mouth and said: "Your Highness, the ship will be leaving soon. We will leave first."
The emperor's grandson gave a faint hum, which was considered a blessing.
Ling Ji and his wife led Ling Jingyan, who was covered in cold sweat, to retreat.
......
"Ah Shu, you have been wronged because of me again."
As soon as he returned to the cabin, Ling Xiao, who had been holding back the whole journey, couldn't wait to blame himself: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to ask for help, and you wouldn't have to suffer from the supercilious look of your grandson."
Ling Jingshu smiled and patted Ling Xiao's shoulder gently: "Axiao, you made a mistake this time. The person who is sulky is not me, but the noble and moody His Highness the Grand Sun. That’s right.”
Ling Xiao still looked gloomy: "I know you fought back... But no matter what, he was the one who bullied others too much. It's just that he doesn't want to help, and he also has to show his superiority. The cynicism is really irritating."
The embarrassment of that moment was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he will probably never forget it in his life.
Ling Jingshu chuckled and said slowly: "Your Highness, the grandson, is feeling depressed and angry but can't express his anger. If you think about this more, you will feel better."
Ling Xiao thought for a while and grinned.
After a while, he whispered worriedly: "Ah Shu, what if that emperor's grandson has a narrow-minded temper and takes the opportunity to cause trouble for us in the future?"
It's really frustrating to say this.
But there is a huge difference in their identities, and it is an undoubted fact that their siblings can suffer a lot with just a move of their fingers.
Ling Jingshu's tone was still calm and indifferent: "Don't worry. The prince is weak and has been practicing meditation. The emperor has to take care of the East Palace, be on guard against overt and covert arrows, learn to handle political affairs, and have to deal with a bunch of people. The imperial uncles with ulterior motives are fighting back and forth...who have no time to trouble us."
Furthermore, in her opinion, although the emperor's grandson has a bad temper, he is unwilling to lose his temper easily to outsiders and must maintain a high airs...
How dare you, your majestic grandson, have the nerve to compete with a boudoir girl?
To put it simply, it means saving face.
She responded that way on purpose. Firstly, he was sulking, and secondly, he wanted to test the emperor's grandson's temper. The more important point is to use this matter to deepen her impression and weight in his heart.
She wanted him to see her vigor and sharpness, and only then could she be accepted by taking refuge under the Eastern Palace to take revenge. Otherwise, if the grand grandson doesn't have the kind of talent he wants, how can he look at her seriously?
Of course, there is no need to tell Ling Xiao about these secret thoughts.
"In the next few days, we will hide far away ~IndoMTL.com~ and we will just not see him." Ling Jingshu smiled and reassured Ling Xiao: "He will never come to our ship to settle accounts with us."
This is true.
Ling Xiao nodded, with a smile on his face again: "Okay, we will arrive in the capital in a few days. By then we will live in the uncle's house, and there will be no chance of contact with His Highness Taisun. As time goes by, He will naturally forget about this part of the festival."
Ling Jingshu agreed casually: "Yes, just don't interact with each other in the future."
How can it be possible without contact!
She just had to wait until she figured out the emperor's temperament and weaknesses before looking for a suitable opportunity to surrender.
